Hi Akash, The AdGroupCriterionError.CANT_UPDATE_NEGATIVE <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201806/AdGroupCriterionService.AdGroupCriterionError#reason> error you encountered means that you cannot update the negative criteria. You could only add or exclude the gender criteria in the Ad Group with Display Network only <https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2404190?visit_id=1-636688765430609387-4124838820&rd=1> campaign type <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/campaigns-overview#campaign_types>. You may check this guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/criteria-usage> for more information on criteria usage. However, to further investigate your issue, could you provide the complete SOAP request and response logs when you encountered the AdGroupCriterionError.CANT_UPDATE_NEGATIVE and AdGroupCriterionError.CANNOT_TARGET_AND_EXCLUDE errors?
